[PMID: 39358467 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05554-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2024] [Revised: 09/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024]
Abstract
An in-line sample concentration method for capillary electrophoresis called admicelle to solvent microextraction was proposed. In this technique, analytes were trapped in the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide admicelles formed in situ on the negatively charged capillary surface. A solvent plug was then partially injected hydrodynamically to collapse the admicelles, which liberated and focused the analytes at the solvent front. Voltage was applied across the capillary, completing the stacking process. Various solvents, namely, methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile, were investigated. The optimal solvent for solvent to admicelle microextraction was 30% acetonitrile in 24 mM sodium tetraborate (pH 9.2). Sample injection time and solvent to sample injection ratio were also optimised. For this demonstration, the optimum sample injection time and solvent to sample injection ratio were 320 s and 1:2, respectively. Using the optimum conditions, UV detection sensitivity was enhanced 132-176-fold for the model anions. The LOQ, %intra-/inter-day (n = 6/n = 12, 2 days) repeatability, and linearity (R2) of admicelle to solvent microextraction were 0.08-2 µg/mL, 1.9-3.9%, 2.8-4.9%, and 0.992, respectively. Admicelle to solvent microextraction was applied to the analysis of various fortified water samples, with good repeatability (%RSD = 0.5-3.6%), and no matrix interferences.

Abstract
Multiple-step on-line preconcentration, a combination of at least two stacking techniques has been developed to increase the sensitivity in capillary electrophoresis (CE) for analytes in various samples. It is usually conducted sequentially, or in some cases, synergistically, where different stacking modes occur simultaneously. Multiple-step techniques allow simultaneous preconcentration and separation of various kinds of analytes in different complex samples in a single CE run. This review aims to provide recent advances in multiple-step on-line preconcentration techniques in CE. We critically review technical papers published for the last 7 years up until July 2024, subsequently organized according to the combination of the main stacking techniques, that is, field amplification, large volume sample stacking, transient isotachophoresis, micelle to solvent or micelle to cyclodextrin stacking, and others. The procedures, fundamental mechanism, analytical figures of merits achieved, and their feasibility for complicated sample matrices are reviewed.

A simple and green offline-online capillary electrophoresis stacking strategy for the simultaneous determination of hydrophobic compounds in complicated samples using sodium dodecyl sulfate as the solubilizer and pseudophase. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1311:342736. [PMID: 38816165 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Capillary electrophoresis is a powerful analytical method featured with high separation efficiency, minimal sample requirements, and reduced organic solvents consumption. However, its low sensitivity hinders its wide application in determination of trace analytes especially for the weakly ionized hydrophobic compounds. Offline and Online capillary electrophoresis stacking methods are more favored to enhance detection sensitivity of analytes. The determination of two sesquiterpenes and an alkaloid from the dried root of Lindera aggregata merged as an example for developing a simple, sensitive and green method for the simultaneous determination of two hydrophobic compounds in complicated matrix samples. RESULTS An offline-online capillary electrophoresis stacking strategy by integrating micro matrix solid phase dispersion with field-amplified sample stacking and micelle to cyclodextrin stacking has been developed for the simultaneous determination of dehydrocostus lactone, linderane, norisoboldine in complex matrices. The optimized parameters were set at 65 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 35 % methanol, 180 s for sample injection and 210 s for cyclodextrin injection, 20 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate of sample matrix for online stacking; 1:1 sample to MCM-48, 180 s grinding time, and 1000 μL of 20 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate elution for offline procedure. Under the optimum conditions, the method showed good linearity with correlation coefficients (R2 ≥ 0.9927), low limits of detection within the range of 25-50 ng mL-1, satisfactory repeatability and reproducibility below 3.98 %, and acceptable recoveries between 94 % and 97 %. The developed method was successfully applied to two real samples, the root of L. aggregata and rat feces. SIGNIFICANCE Sodium dodecyl sulfate is firstly used as an eluent in micro matrix solid phase dispersion and plays a dual role throughout the analytical procedure, including extraction solvent in sample preparation and micelle pseudophase during online stacking. It brings great procedure convenience to the method. The sensitivity of this method can improve up to 1283-folds compared with the normal mode. Moreover, the overall strategy indicates satisfied green potential evaluated by greenness assessment tools.

Abstract
This review is in support of the development of selective, precise, fast, and validated capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods. It follows up a similar article from 1998, Wätzig H, Degenhardt M, Kunkel A. "Strategies for capillary electrophoresis: method development and validation for pharmaceutical and biological applications," pointing out which fundamentals are still valid and at the same time showing the enormous achievements in the last 25 years. The structures of both reviews are widely similar, in order to facilitate their simultaneous use. Focusing on pharmaceutical and biological applications, the successful use of CE is now demonstrated by more than 600 carefully selected references. Many of those are recent reviews; therefore, a significant overview about the field is provided. There are extra sections about sample pretreatment related to CE and microchip CE, and a completely revised section about method development for protein analytes and biomolecules in general. The general strategies for method development are summed up with regard to selectivity, efficiency, precision, analysis time, limit of detection, sample pretreatment requirements, and validation.

Abstract
In-line sample concentration by micelle to cyclodextrin stacking (MCDS) in open-tubular liquid chromatography (OT-LC) with UV detection is described. OT-LC of two sets of analytes (small-molecule drugs and neutral alkenylbenzenes) was by the use of a fused-silica capillary that was coated with admicelles of didodecyldimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB). These admicelles acted as a stationary chromatographic pseudophase. The mobile phase was 25 mM sodium tetraborate in 10% methanol, pH 9.2. MCDS was by long pressure injection of samples prepared in 10 mM hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in 25 mM sodium tetraborate, pH 9.2 (buffer), followed by injection of 50 mM α-CD in buffer (CD solution). Stacking was by application of voltage at -20 kV prior to pressure-driven OT-LC. The factors that influenced MCDS such as type and concentration of CD, concentration of CTAB in the sample, injection time ratio of the sample and the CD solution and stacking time were studied. Under optimised conditions, sensitivity enhancement factors (SEFs) were between 19 and 23, linear ranges were between 0.5 and 10 µg/mL with r2 > 0.99 and inter-day/intra-day repeatability in retention time and peak area were ≤5.6% for the model small-molecule drugs. Application to real samples was by the determination of potentially toxic alkenylbenzenes (SEFs = 10 to 12) in basil-leaf and whole-clove extracts. The assay results were comparable to those obtained from an in-house high-performance liquid chromatography-UV method.
